my work loads anywhere from the morning to late afternoon...
but I have until sunday until midnight to get it done, so it is not like you are working the entire weekend...depends how fast and motivated you are--LOL
NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work. This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession. I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
No, you don't have to ask to work a holiday (sm)
I have the same problem with working past my usual quitting time (getting old, you know- LOL) I usually just send an email to Deb (or I guess to support) and say, I'm tired, will make up on weekend. Have never had a problem. Actually they are probably glad to have the help on the weekends. They are pretty flexible, especially when work is low. Don't hesitate to call them or email them for questions. I like it here too. 
Do you have to ask to work on a holiday...
when you are scheduled off?
Another question when out of work-do you have to keep working until your 8 hours are in once the work picks up or just make up that time later. I have a hard time working past a certain hour in the day and in the past, just made it up during the week/weekend. I don't want to get on the bad side of 'em. Love it here.
Only if you actually work on the holiday
If you choose to work the holiday, you will get paid the extra cpl for the holiday, but if you choose not to work the holiday, you won't get it.
Is everyone still out of work from the holiday?
I'm at Oracle and my account has been totally 100% out of work since Labor Day. I'm asking that they put me on a secondary but even if they do it tomorrow it'll be my smallest paycheck ever.
How's everyone else doing across the board?
Also I'm perfectly aware that its normal to be out of work after holidays, but tell that to my bills.
Thinking of getting out of the business..... :(
Yes, you do have to work the holiday,
if it falls on one of your regularly-scheduled work days.
You do, however, get a 3 cents per line bonus for every line you type.
Low work situation again this a.m. Due to what Holiday? n/m

I've never had to work on a holiday...
but I guess it all depends on who you're working for.
If you are not scheduled to work the holiday, then
you shouldn't unless the call goes out for extra help.
If you jump on when you're not scheduled to work and you have all your hours and lines, you're just taking away from those that are scheduled to work. Don't be greedy.
If the holiday is your scheduled day to work....
then you work, unless you have pre-scheduled the time off. There is a holiday line bonus added onto lines worked on the holiday.
This afternoon? Isn't the day almost

Typical holiday at Transcend - no work!
They musta sent all my stuff over to India so they can all get new saris for their next holiday. Meantime, there goes my lunch for 3 weeks. Ya happy now Transcend management? You have managed to put us all in the poor house. Hope your summer cottages burn and your boats sink.
Not MDI, but where I work, no weekend differential, no holiday pay...
I HATE it. I've been looking for a job out of MT for a year - nothing. Your schedule includes one weekend day, and if a holiday falls on your regularly scheduled work day, TS - you get your normal line rate.
The holiday was 10 days ago! That is ridiculous. Lots of work here. nm
nm
very true... MT wages won't cover holiday work and sm
grocery stores, nurses, those people usually VOLUNTEER and are not forced into their shifts. Some people want to work on holidays and get DOUBLE or TRIPLE pay, not 9 cents a line to do an ESL that makes you $10 an hour. And what does Obama have to do with it?
I have an interview this afternoon. Can I ask you a couple ?? (SM)
Why were you trained on 6 different accounts? Was it because of a low work situation on the other accounts? How soon do they plan on moving everything to ASR? Are we talking before the end of the year? Sorry I know this is more than a couple questions -- just one more. Regarding the 30% pay cut, is this something they have come right out and told their MTs to expect? TIA
NO paid holidays for us all year round. If there is any work on the holiday, you get
lines and a half, but usually there is no work. They usually clear out the work before the holiday so there is no 1-1/2 line pay remaining. Transtech names 6 holidays each year, but the MT takes those holidays off WITHOUT pay.  I am sure the office staff and all other non-MT staff take off WITHOUT pay, too, aren't you???? LOL
Which MT companies DO pay an MT for holidays. I don't consider a day a HOLIDAY unless it is PAID. They can call it 6 holdays, but have to take off without pay . . . . just another day, i.e, get sick -- NO PAY.
There's plenty of work. Hope you like working every weekend and holiday. nm

I was hired by them last week, start this afternoon...
Feel free to email me
Maybe that big new hospital won't kick in until later this morning or even afternoon. (sm)
Didn't they say it was consults coming on today?
Hate the day after a holiday for work -- seems like it takes forever to get my account back up to
speed and getting work available. Oh, well, I'm just venting this morning because I don't have any work and guess I should be cleaning house instead of sitting on here being frustrated about it. Have a good one!
Usually the hospital dump a large amount on Friday afternoon. nm

I just quit Medquist, hired by Etrans and quit them after one afternoon during the last two weeks!sm
Medquist made me buy a new computer to go to the "Docuscribe" system that was so much better than cottage. When I got there I took a real big pay cut to the tune of probably 30 to 40%. I was getting paid gross lines doing Cedars-Sinai operative reports. I asked for more per line and my supervisor just laughed and said you think were going to pay you $0.12 a line to just do operative reports! I said I quit. I should have said F you and your mamma too:( I had been there all together 7 years through buyouts. I am just sick of it all. I'm going to go sew my daughter a cute little Halloween outfit right now.
holiday pay
Do most companies provide holiday pay?
No holiday pay?
I do not work for Spheris, but that is the most selfish/ crasiest thing I have ever heard. I hope I don't sound like an idiot here, but is that even legal to have to work on a holiday without getting extra pay (apparently, it must be) ..but, I tell you what, I would be taking off every single holiday. I can understand if you were IC or SE or if they offered different incentives... but EMPLOYEE?
holiday pay
Does anyone who works for DRC/Acusis remember if there used to be paid holidays or has it always been just premium holiday pay? I've only been here since March, but I was under the impression when I hired on we had 8 paid holidays???
no holiday pay at DSG. nm
xx
holiday pay
well, i'm not sure where people on here are getting their information. the new policy states you have to make your line quota 6 out of the last 8 pay periods and be employed there at least 6 months. it isn't that unreasonable
So what's their big holiday?
?
What holiday?
IC Holiday Pay?
If you are an IC, are you asked to work major holidays? How many do you work? Do you get a special line rate for working the big holidays? I wonder what the line rate is for holiday pay at most companies?
What's holiday pay?
Where I work as an IC, everyone who is normally scheduled for that day of the week is expected to work unless approved to take off in advance. Experience tells me that there is usually little to no work on the holidays, though.
holiday pay
i get time and a half - 13.5 cpl - 6 major holidays
holiday pay??
I get the same pay as always. I need to apply where you work.
Holiday Pay
You negative people just slay me. Did you not get the email from Management about there being FULL management and supervisory staff working the holidays? If they get paid for the holidays I'm sure they deserve every dime they do get. All you have to do (from my experience working the past several years with TT on holidays) is sign up to work the holiday and you will get paid lines and a half. There will be work, there always is. Now whether it's an account that will be your comfort zone will be another question. They can only give us the dictation the doctors dictate. They can't create something. I'm just really defensive when it comes to TT, they've been really good to me because I've been a good worker for them and plan on continuing as such.
Holiday Pay
I forgot to mention in my previous post...why don't you build up PTO like TT gives? Then you can take a holiday and get paid. Times are lean now and you have to make some sacrifices just as TT has to do I'm sure. Some people think that just because there is a company they are making dollars hand over fist. If I had a company that offered people to accumulate PTO why would I want to give them free money and pay them for doing absolutely nothing? Good luck in finding somewhere these days that will give out free money. Sounds like you're more interested in a handout.
Holiday Pay
I work for three services; at two I get $.03 per line extra and the third I get 15% extra of whatever lines I've done.
Holiday pay
Well work then. The BENEFIT is you work from home. You forfeit some benefits in exchange for others. Get over it. Guess you didn't mention they give you a Christmas gift though. How many MT companies do that for their HOME BASED MT's?
It's the holiday
With short work weeks, you'll likely hear from them next week. Good luck! Great place to work!
I just TAKE the holiday. If they don't like it,
_
Holiday pay
Don't blame you for being miffed. They say you only get holiday pay if you make your line rate. I don't know how many times I have been suckered into working a holiday and sat there all day for nothiong because I could not make rate with no work. Won't do it anymore unless I can get a guaranteed wage for sitting around waiting for work and totally ruining my time with my family.
Holiday pay
Your supervisor can approve holiday pay for you if you did not make your hours because of NSA - so take heart, you should get your holiday pay as long as you are putting in a ticket for your NSA once a day. That info is per one of the super's.
Holiday
It has been my experience that usually there is not much work on the holiday and if you check in a few times and if necessary type a few reports there is no problem.
holiday incentive pay
...is something I'd like to see
holiday question to R
Where did you see the must work 3 holidays thing-it is not in the handbook and nobody told me that.
OSI holiday pay and raises
I predict that the holiday bonus will last through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then disapear like the work does overseas. No way are they gonna pay that ALL year....no way are they gonna pay raises either, cause no one will stay long enough to earn one!
How bad was the holiday slowdown?
just a day.. or a few days??
Holiday slow down?
Does it seem like the 4th of July holiday slowdown is starting already?
Holiday? What a joke...sm
Are there any companies out there that actually pay their MTs holiday pay? Amphion makes you use your hard-earned, very-slowly-accru, or is there better? Just doesn't seem right. I would think they could pry their wallets open a little bit wider in this respect.
MDI/FL/Transcend Rad Holiday
Does the MDI/FL/Transcend holiday bonus apply to radiology accounts as well? If so, since pay is per report, how is the bonus calculated?
